Discussion about religion bashing

[Lady Vulpix]

Inform yourselves first. Palestinians have been killing the Jewish for years, performing acts of terrorism and using their own people as shields. They indoctrinate their children to hate all Jewish and want to kill us all. The Israelis (not even all Jewish people) are fighting back and trying to avoid killing civilians, but the Palestinians make it hard, as they hide their bases under schools, hospitals and other sensitive areas. Israel has even allowed people from other countries to enter the Israeli territory to send food and medicine for the Palestinians (except that one ship which was full of weapons). I think most countries have done far worse. And the fight is only against Gaza, where the radical groups are. Not Cisjordania (or whatever the English spelling is), which is also a Palestinian settlement and Israel has never attacked them. Of course they've made mistakes, and of course there are some Jewish people who are filled with hate, but you can't generalize because of that.

And even if you disagree with their policies, your argument is against Israel, not the Jewish community.

If people were given my home my ancestors have lived on for centuries and given all the best land, the governing body, and billions of dollars each year in aid I would be pretty furious too. When you're pushed into a corner with nothing left the only real option is violence. As seen by the operation in Gaza in 2008 Israel isn't concerned about civilian casualties.

Neither side is 'right', both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live a peaceful, happy life free from terror, and it's an incredibly messy situation but Israeli holds all the cards, they have all the power to really set the peace process in motion but literally nothing has progressed. At all. Israel is going to keep building settlements and annexing '"Palestinian land" and nobodies going to give a fuck. I hope a century from now we look back at the atrocities both sides have committed and shake our heads in disgust, but history is doomed to repeat itself because our pitiful lifespan isn't long enough to learn anything worthwhile as a collective.
